I don't think there going to remove MJ's vocals totally. I think they might just add Janet's vocal over Michael's lead vocal. There are ways they can keep both vocals on there. Quincy will figure it out. He is a master recording producer.

When you learn to respect others and musical debates then quote my posts , other than that im not intertested to talk with you, learn to respect other opinions even if they were wrong...

I think he's just trying to get it through your thick head as to what they're doing. Ain't no one mad.

You realize that "wrote" and "composed" are pretty much the same thing, they way you're using them. He didn't write it alone either. Lionel Richie had equal share in writing that song. It was a truly collaborative effort. Lionel was just as much in his prime at that point as MJ was, too.

MJ isn't alive. It'd be a little creepy to put his vocals in something he did 25 years ago, just for the sake of having him in there - after his death. It'd be a cheap ploy, and they'd instantly be accused of milking his death for some attention. So the idea of him being in there is moot. This is a NEW version, ergo no MJ.

Creativity gone? Not really. "We Are The World" isn't the first song to be covered, or remade, not by a long shot.

Exactly! i couldn't have said it better

I don't see the point in remaking it.

Hunger and AIDS running rampant here and abroad isn't played.

In a world of self-important 20 year olds, I think it's a great idea. The baton of responsibility needs to be passed along. A charity isn't a P.R. ploy. It is now to people of course, but back then it was a real issue to folks, and a real reason to do something. The idea of taking care of the your fellow manfolk needs to be passed down. Maybe this is one way to do that. It's not the ONLY way, but it's one way. Plus, it's 25 years, so it's a reason to draw attention to it again.

I'm not necessarily looking forward to the new version, but I am curious about it a bit....just to hear if it's really good, or really not.

I don't see the point in re-making it either. They could make a whole new song that would serve the same purpose.

The thing that gets me is the song is WEAK 2 begin with.

Many people couldn't make it to the recording at the studio but I believe they still provided vocals and I heard that they will digitally insert artists into the video.
